About This Quote
Here's to real heroes, not the ones who carry us off into the sunset but the ones who help us choose our princes. Heroes act boldly, make difficult decisions, and take actions that are often unpopular with their friends, family, and society. They don’t hide in fear like most of us would. Instead they make bold choices based on what they think is best for their friends and family. They know that there will be consequences for taking risks; however, they go out into the world anyway.
Our culture has lost touch with this kind of bravery. We celebrate those who stay safe and perhaps even safe enough to quietly smirk at the fear of others. We celebrate those who rise above even though most will never see it.
